SAYING GOODBYE TO SGMES STAFF MEMBERS
MRS. FERNANDEZ will not be returning as our PE Teacher and Athletic Director in the fall. She will stay home full time with sweet little Santiago! In her place, MRS. PALOMINO will continue on as our official PE Teacher and Athletic Director for the 2022-2023 school year!
MS. ROMANACH moved to California from Texas for Graduate school 4 years ago and immediately fell in love with the Mission community. Lately she has found herself a bit homesick, so although she will miss Mission terribly, she is ready to return to Texas and be with her family. Ms. Romanach has already accepted a position as a primary grade teacher in Texas.
I have already hired a wonderful K-2 STEM Teacher to step into that role and look forward to sharing all about her in the coming weeks!
MS. BREITSCHWERDT will be moving to Northern California to continue her education and teaching career. When she started at Mission in 2019 as an Instructional Aide in the TK classroom, she realized that teaching was her calling and was so proud to be able to become the 3-5 STEM teacher the following year. She will take all she has learned with her and cherish the many memories that she has made with your amazing children. MS. CAVENDER, the 3-5 Co-Teacher, will remain as the 3-5 STEM Teacher.
MR. TAN will be leaving California for the Texas as well! While he has lived near San Gabriel his entire life, his wife grew up far from the city on a ranch. So, they are moving to Texas Hill Country so that their rapidly-growing children can experience some rural-ish living while they are still young! Mr. Tan wanted you to know that the students and staff make SGMES the best school I've ever been a part of...in every single way.
Lastly, an announcement is forthcoming in regard to the new PRINCIPAL who will take over for the 2022-2023 school year. I pray that you make her feel as supported and respected as you have me.
